in general, i think it is most appropriate to discuss technical issues and avoid specific price discussions for fear of having another "here is all the stuff i have to sell" discussions. however, i think bill was totally fine to correct the erroneous price quoted on the list.
i think that many people will have more grandstream questions of a technical nature to ask, as well, so i hope bill will be able to assist the list in that manner. mark On 10 Jun 2003, Steven Critchfield wrote: > I wish Mark would chime in on his thoughts. > > I also am not opposed to someone answering direct questions about a > product they happen to sell even if it is in a public forum.
